ORANGE CORNMEAL CAKE



Orange Cornmeal Cake image

This cake bakes up tender and light with a subtle orange taste. It tastes rich but is comparatively low in saturated fat. Serve the cake as is, or dress it up with a dollop of whipped cream and strawberries or raspberries. It is wonderful warm, but the flavor improves as it sits, so make it a day or two before you plan to serve it. Store the cake at room temperature. -Leigh Rys, Herndon, Virginia

ORANGE OLIVE OIL CAKE



Orange olive oil cake image

Add some citrussy zing to your baking with this orange olive oil cake, topped with a rosemary and cardamom drizzle. It's gluten-free and super delicious

Provided by Rosie Birkett

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Time 1h55m

Yield Serves 8-10

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 large whole seedless orange
½ lemon , juiced and zested
225ml olive oil , plus extra for the tin
200g ground almonds
120g polenta
1 tsp baking powder (use gluten-free if you need to)
3 large eggs
225g golden caster sugar
natural yogurt or crème fraîche, to serve (optional)
100g golden caster sugar
½ orange , juiced
½ lemon , juiced
6 cardamom pods , seeds removed and ground
4 rosemary sprigs

Steps:

  • Bring a pan of water to the boil. Lower the orange in and cover with a lid, leaving a gap so that a little steam can still escape. Boil gently for 30 mins, then remove from the water and allow to cool slightly. Quarter the orange and remove any pips, then transfer to a blender or food processor, add the lemon juice and zest and blitz to a smooth purée.
  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4. Oil the sides of a 23cm round cake tin and line the bottom of the tin with baking parchment.
  • Sieve the almonds, polenta, baking powder and ½ tsp salt into a large bowl and mix together thoroughly. Whisk the eggs and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer until really pale and fluffy, about 4 mins. With the mixer still whisking, slowly pour in the olive oil in a steady stream so that the mixture doesn't split. Once incorporated, scrape in the orange purée and whisk to combine, then add the dry ingredients, combining until you have a smooth batter. Pour the batter into the cake tin and bake for 55 mins to 1 hr 5 mins until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
  • Cool in the tin on a wire rack while you make the syrup. Combine the sugar, orange juice, lemon juice, cardamom and 30ml water in a pan. Bring to the boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved, then add the rosemary. Turn off the heat and infuse for at least 30 mins.
  • Use a skewer to poke holes in the top of the cake, then pour over the syrup. Allow to settle for 5 mins or so, then slice and serve with some natural yogurt or crème fraîche, if you like.

OLIVE OIL ORANGE CAKE RECIPE BY TASTY



Olive Oil Orange Cake Recipe by Tasty image

Simplicity doesn't always mean perfection, but it does in the case of this olive oil cake! Notes of sweet vanilla and bright orange combine to perfume this moist, golden cake with citrusy flavor.

Provided by Aleya Zenieris

Categories     Bakery Goods

Time 2h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
1 navel orange, zested
1 ¾ cups all purpose flour
½ cup almond flour, finely ground
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
2 large eggs, room temperature
½ cup full-fat greek yogurt
1 large navel orange, juiced
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
⅔ cup olive oil, plus more for greasing
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
whipped cream, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, stir together the sugar and orange zest. Let sit for 30-60 minutes to allow the orange oils to perfume the sugar, which will enhance the flavor of the cake.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the eggs to the orange-infused sugar. Using an electric hand mixer on medium speed, beat together until smooth and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Add the Greek yogurt, orange juice, vanilla, and olive oil and beat on medium-low speed until combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in 2 batches and mix on low speed until just combined. The batter should be thick, but smooth, and fall off the beaters in thick ribbons.
  • Lightly grease a 9-inch cake pan with olive oil. Line the bottom with a parchment paper round and lightly grease with more oil. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake the cake for 40-45 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes before inverting the cake from the pan. Remove the parchment paper and flip right-side up.
  • Dust the top of the cake with the powdered sugar, then slice and serve with whipped cream alongside, if desired.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • To achieve a moist and fluffy cake: Ensure the buttermilk is at room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients. This allows the buttermilk to react properly with the baking soda, resulting in a light and airy texture.
  • For a crispy and golden brown crust: Brush the top of the cake with melted butter and sprinkle it with sugar before baking. This will create a caramelized crust that adds flavor and texture.
  • To enhance the orange flavor: Use freshly squeezed orange juice and zest. The natural oils in the orange zest provide a more intense citrus flavor compared to store-bought orange extract.
  • To ensure even baking: Preheat the oven to the correct temperature before placing the cake in. Additionally, position the cake in the center of the oven to ensure even heat distribution.
  • For a perfectly cooked cake: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready. If it comes out with batter or crumbs attached, bake for a few more minutes.

Conclusion:

The Olive Oil Orange Cornmeal Cake offers a unique combination of flavors and textures that will delight your taste buds. With its moist and fluffy crumb, crispy crust, and vibrant orange flavor, this cake is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're serving it as a dessert for a special dinner or enjoying it as a sweet treat with your morning coffee, this cake is sure to impress. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and embark on a culinary journey to create this delectable masterpiece. Happy baking!
